Sunset State Beach in Santa Cruz is an exposed beach break that offers occasional surf with no strong seasonal pattern, though winter tends to bring the most consistent clean waves. The break provides both left and right-hand waves and performs best around high tide. It's rarely crowded, making it a quieter option for surfers. Be cautious of rips and sharks. Optimal conditions occur when a west swell aligns with east offshore winds, typically peaking in January.
